So I just completed my first day of Initial Home Visits in Leslie County, KY and had a really great day! I'll tell you all about my life lately. Lately I have:
*Met my staff: Katie (my returner), Jon, and Lena (my first years). They are all amazing and I'm so happy I got placed with them this summer
*Visited Leslie County and met some community contacts that I'll be working with this summer. The superintendent is my facilities manager and informally offered me a teaching job so that was pretty sweet
*Completed training and left The Porch (sad day because everyone on staff is amazing, as usual)
*Moved into Hyden Elementary (minimal bugs :) and we have a/c in every room but our staff quarters-they're working on that)
*Went to a church service with approximately 13 people-including myself and 3 other staffers. Everyone at the service was great and we had two separate people that offered us showers since we haven't built ours yet
*Sat in a fire truck
*Showered in a fire station (Darlene, the owner of Tropical Sno, is married to the first chief so he gave us the key to the first station until we have showers built)
*Went on Initial Home Visits with my returner, Katie. It was a pretty rough start because we weren't finding many homes but then I met one homeowner that I fell in love with and really hope we can work on her home. She is the sweetest ever and I really enjoyed spending time with her today and her grandkids. Also, we went to another home that ASP had previously worked on a few years ago. The work that they did a few years ago is still looking strong and I had no trouble figuring out why ASP had chosen to work for that family before. They were amazing and reminded me of the reasons I took this job. I really hope we can work for them as well. Also, when Katie and I went to look at the foundation under the house, we found a goat. It was pretty funny because we were not expecting it at all! I told the homeowner that we were surprised to see a goat and he said it was his weed wacker. I really love my job!
*Came home to our school and found out that my first years are amazing and finished everything their to-do list said...and then some!
*Made friends with the subway guys who said they'd save me extra chocolate chip cookies...awesome!
*Met my cooks who seem pretty great, too
*Set up our office. My desk is very organized and I have my mail hanging up (Thank you to everyone who sent me mail so far!)
*Hung up one billion signs in our school-tons of quotes, bible verses, and song lyrics
*Got lost a whole lot
My new address is:
ASP
General Delivery
Hyden, KY 41749
Please send me and my staff some love <3
Also, I don't get much cell service here but I'll try to call people when I can
LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH! Right now, one of my first years, Jon, is making us a delicious chicken finger dinner (my staff already knows how much of a picky eater I am-oops) so I'm going to go help him out.
Talk to you all soon-ish! <3
